Just when you thought Verzuz was bowing out as the end of summer inches closer, it returns with a major announcement. On Thursday (September 2),Verzuz revealed that in just two weeks, we will be seeing Fat Joe and Ja Rule unite on stage for what is expected to be a walk down Hip Hop memory lane. The pair of rappers have achieved longevity in the industry, but when they were at their peaks, they were dishing out chart-topping hit after hit.
Both Fat Joe and Ja Rule’s names have been heavily requested among Verzuz fans, especially considering many of their collaborations have been featured during previous performances.
